Cycling bells designed for bike riders often come in a [standard circular shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical) without diverging much in aesthetic or functionality, until the Oi bell that creatively opts for a hollowed out ring shape to offer perfect sounding pitch. The bell is made from a simple loop that creatively allows the sound to move through the design in a clearer fashion.

The Oi bell maintains its [traditional handlebar position on a bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike), while opting for an unconventional shape and size. The ringer has a vertical, circular shape that allows riders to ding the bell and send the sound shooting up the ring. This creates a [loud and distinct pitch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-cheers) that resinates with a long-lasting sound. The ring can also be altered to create different sounding pitches as well for added customization.
